LONGLEAT HOUSE AND SAFARI PARK
A wonderful day out for all the family. Visit the Marquess of Bath’s Elizabethan House, maze, butterfly garden, adventure playground and pets’ corner. See the hippos, gorillas and seals on the lake, take a train or boat ride, and then drive around the safari park, spotting giraffes, lions, tigers, rhino, zebras, camels and wolves. (Beware of the monkeys!)

BOWOOD
Another nearby historic house, owned by the Marquess of Landsdowne, with extensive park-like grounds, an adventure playground and a soft play area. Once again, something for all the family.

CORSHAM , HOLT, GREAT CHALFIELD, WESTWOOD
All four have National Trust properties, and are within a few miles. A little further are DYRHAM PARK, and the privately owned IFORD and SHELDON MANORS and FARLEIGH HUNGERFORD Castle.
